THE PANAMA CANAL.

A OA3NNA<s
 M. Leroy -Beaulien's review in the Econo- miste Francais of the Panama canal enter prise is interesting. He shows how far short of the promise has been the work performed, the excavations this year having fallen 45 per cent. below the estimate, and says that Eff the work goes on DO faster than it has gone on in 1887 it will take twenty years to remove La Culebra; if it goes on three ti,nes faster it will take six years and half rnore to finish the canal" In regard to the fnan- cial aspect of the enterprise, he says that after the company has got all the money it is now asking for the sum total of the in- vestment will be s233, 162, TIA. The interest on this and other charges of every nature will amount to SIS, ,594, ,044, and the canal is still far from being finished. If the work lasts six years and half longer it will take from 800, 900, 900 to 900, ,O00,000 francs more in mere interest and general expenses, which will make altogether debt of about $400,- 900, O00 But the work still to be done will probably cost not less than 1000, ,00O, ,O00 francs, or $200, ,000, ,060, making in all $500, 0OO,00O The average interest on this will be about per cent, or $54, 100000. So that what with this, the ordinary expenses of administration and repairs, and the rent to the Colombian government, the canal will need to earn from $5s, ,OOO, 900 to $6O, 1000, ,oo0 annually to pay it's fixed charges before the shareholders get any dividend.
 M. de Lesseps, chipper and confident as he appears to be, will find it very hard to get over the plain statement of facts made by NJ. Beaulien. He has repeatedly declared that the exposures of the company's extrava- gance, wastefulness and misrepresentation are only exhibitions of jealousy and malice, but he can't fairly charge NJ. Beaulien with jealousy and malice.

Susanna Madora Salter, mayor of Argonia, Kansas, is, it said, having very successful administration. When she was elected to her present office her enemies predicted that she would make failure of her effort to run the municipal affairs of Argonia. Up to the present time she has made no great blunders. She is, however, tired of the burdens of office and says that when her present term expires she will retire to private life and leave the government of Argonia to the care of the sterner sex.

A writer in the Popular Science Monthly says it is probable that when the continents were raised from the sea the lake basins had been already formed, and came up, therefore, brimful of water. The writer says In the northern and eastern part of the continent,
 where the supply of rain and snowfall ex- ceeds the loss by evaporation, the salt, being continuously carried away through their out lets, has become so diluted as to become an imperceptible quantity. In arid regions, as the Pacific Slope and the country about the Caspian, where the evaporation was in excess of the supply, the water level of the lakes continuously sank until, on account of the diminished extent of surface, the equilibrium of loss and gain was attained. Hence the exceeding saltness or the Great Salt Lake. the Dead Sea, etc. For like reason tie water of the Mediterranean contains more salt relatively than that of the ocean. Evap- oration exceeding the supplies from rivers and rainfall, it requires constant current through the Strait of Gibraltar. The same is true of the Dead Sea. The Utah basin must once have been filled to it's brim with ocean water. The outlet has been evapora- tion, The lake, reeeding to it's present level
 has left many evidences of it's former extent

Electric lanterns will, it is thought, take the place, in course of time, of the ordinary running safety lamps. A portable electric lamp can now be made, possessing the fol- lowing features: Weight, about three pounds; Illuminating power, five candles; size and shape, similar to present lamps; duration of light, ten hours; cost of repairs, charges of battery and materials, two cents for ten hours; these facts showing that there is noth- ing to prevent its adoption as substitute for the present lamps, and even for candles in many mines where they are still in use.
 The New York Times remarks that the an- notated list of delegates to the "Labor" State convention is worth studying. "Out- side of the cities of New York and Brook lyn," says the Times, "'Labor' amounts to very little in politics, the agriculturist who works fourteen hours day for bare living being an inveterate and irreclaimable scab. The city delegation will therefore, in effect, comprise the convention. The list indicates small but active and virulent fraction of German Socialists, who would have no vote if our naturalization law had been honestly | enforced in their cases, and about an equal number of amiable and feeb1e-minded per sons who really believe that the Labor party | is going to benefit mankind by boycotting | the unzighteous.

WATER WORKS.

The city board held meeting on
Wednesday of last week to decide which
one OF the many proposals for water
works the city should accept in case the
people vote favorably on the question.
The bid of W. S. Parker & Co. of Water
loo, n. Y, was selected as the most
favorable. The city is to be furnished
with II miles of pipe and 40 hydrants
so distributed as to afford protection and
water privileges to every part of the city
Public buildings and schools will be
furnished water free, and each ward will
have public drinking fountain. Cost
to the city $4,000 yearly.
The date has not yet been fixed at
which the question viii be submitted to
the people. 1t is probable there will be
no special election and that the people
viii be asked to vote upon it in April
when the charter election is held.
The assurance is offered by those who
have given considerable attention to the
subject that with the system of water
works contemplated, the city would have
the best possible protection from fire
and that the fire department as at pres
ent constituted could be wholly dispensed
with. If this be true then there is
economy in having water works. The
matter is open for discussion and the
columns of The Pilot are at the service
of those who choose to present arguments
either way.

in this county that everything effecting

late decision of the supreme court of
New Jersey will be of interest to farmers
owning wire fences. \ colt was so badly
injured by wire fence that be had to
be killed. The owner of the colt bad
him ''pastured out" and paid for his
keeping. He sued the owner of the
pasture in whose wire fence the colt was
injured and recovered the value OF the
colt. The decisioa is SO important one
to manufacturers of barbed wire that a
reversal of the decision by some higher
court will be sought.

HORSE THIEVES.

The horse thief has been plying his
trade with ''strict attention to business
in this county this winter. Some time
ago The Pilot gave an account OF the
stealing of a team of horses from a
farmer in Cooperstown, the thieves TAX
ing harness and wagon at the same time.
A similar theft was perpetrated IN
Kossuth on Thursday night of last week.
A team of horses were taken from the
barn of a farmer named Rehbein living
on the Green Bay road. The thieves
harnessed up the horses, picked out the
proper brides from number hanging
on the same peg, hitched up to sleigh
and drove off. On Friday Sheriff Bolen
started in pursuit and has spent the time
since N the lumber regions in search of
the thieves.
